This paper presents a simple, but effective, design method for decentralized PI control systems with guaranteed closed-loop stability. Nyquist stability conditions are used to derive the stability region for each PI controller in terms of the controller parameters. A detuning factor for each loop is specified based on a diagonal dominance index. Then appropriate controller settings are determin...

Input shaping is a vibration control technique that operates by filtering reference commands so that the modified (or shaped) command does not excite the system’s natural frequencies. Usually, input shaping is limited to a filtering operation outside of any feedback loops. However, this implementation prevents input shaping from effecting some vital control applications including disturbance re...

In this paper, a new virtual leader following consensus protocol is introduced to perform the internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles under generic network topology. In all previous studies on multi-agent systems with generic network topology, the control parameters are strictly dependent on eigenvalues of network matrices (adjacency or Laplacian). Since some ...

In this paper, a state feedback H¥ controller is proposed in order to design an active queue management (AQM) system based on congestion control algorithm for networks supporting TCP protocols. In this approach, the available link bandwidth is modeled as a time-variant disturbance. The purpose of this paper is to design a controller which is capable of achieving the queue size and can guarantee...

the problem of pole assignment, also known as an eigenvalue assignment, in linear discrete-time periodic systems in discs was solved by a novel method which employs elementary similarity operations. the former methods tried to assign the points inside the unit circle while preserving the stability of the discrete time periodic system. nevertheless, now we can obtain the location of eigenvalues ...

The paper presents robust controller design for systems with uncertain transport delays. Robust PI controllers are designed using approach, which combines the method based on plotting the stability boundary locus in the (kp, ki)-plane with the pole-placement method. The approach enables to assure robust stability of the closed loop as well as the quality of the control response prescribed by th...

In this paper the existence of a quadratic control Lyapunov function for bilinear systems is considered. The existence of a control Lyapunov function ensures the existence of a control law which ensures the global asymptotic stability of the closed loop control system. In this paper we will derive conditions for the existence of a control Lyapunov function for bilinear systems. These conditions...

In this paper, we introduce a hybridization-based feedback control synthesis method for potentially unstable nonlinear continuous-time systems. We construct discretization and that ensures dissipation form of incremental input-to-state stability property number abstraction-based methods rely on or benefit from. This enables the use these also case systems, to achieve reachability temporal logic...

in this paper, a new analytical method to find a near-optimal high gain controller for the non-minimum phase affine nonlinear systems is introduced. this controller is derived based on the closed form solution of the hamilton-jacobi-bellman (hjb) equation associated with the cheap control problem. this methodology employs an algebraic equation with parametric coefficients for the systems with s...
